I put up a website 4 weeks ago, what do you think

Not bad dude. Personally I would play with the fonts and presentation of the content some more.

I like it a lot. Only issue I have is, It's about stock only. Time maybe to think beyond that?? do something Out of the box a bit.

I only do stock.........no weddings, no portraits .

Thanks Lauren for taking a look, the site is to make interaction with potential Models more "professional".

I like your site, it's plain and simple, my only criticsm is that on the home page shots, the guys hand holding the phone looks a bit yellow!

Nice and easy to get around, to the point, no fuss. Good. Other than the font, which I dislike on a personal level, I agree with Laurin.

Right now you may sell stock imaging, but do you really only do stock images? Event artsy-type images you produce for your own enjoyment will add to your port if they are good. You don't have to do weddings and portraits to have other image-types. I don't do weddings anymore either (maybe two in the past year and said no to lots more), though I still do portraits.

Most people looking for stock aren't likely to look for private ports unless your stock is 'famous', and those that do, want to see everything you can do, not just what they can see on any of the stock sites. I'd suggest adding a small gallery of other works. If you have nothing then go out and shoot some super landscapes or some street scenes, or separate some of that type of image from your stock port and post them in a gallery of imagery that could be used for print.

Thanks Gracey, very thoughtful suggestions I'm planning in a couple of weeks to do some updates, to try and keep the site fresh, I will try and incorporate some of your suggestions. Although for the past two and a half years since I discovered microstock, I have done nothing apart from shoot content.

RTimages, thanks for the comments, the font thing is valid: I'm not techie in anyway, I read up on things, so have enough information to be dangerous. I thought I had to have a generic font that every computer would have, so it would display the text properly?

The yellow hand, I'm always striving to get warm skin tones, battling against the Nikon's tendency to produce blue skin tones, having said that it is a fine line between warm and yellow. It's also one of my early attempts at stock photography.

Thanks everyone for your comments

It is clean and presented well - not filled with useless clutter. Well Done!

I just built mine about two months ago and if you set up a links page and want to exchange links, let me know.

Perhaps I could ask for font suggestions, to improve my website look please
